Set aside the blinds, that cover the world outside We'll never see enough in this life but it's worth a try You've got a tempered mind But I'm not far behind I'm trying to keep my sharp tongue wrapped up inside I think about consequences so dire And I'll find a way to speak eloquently But for now I'll stay quiet I'll stay quiet I don't want to remember my time on this earth Wasting nights watching the world burn Oh what if we changed our ways? Don't you feel your wonder fade? As you repine, sit in complacency for days And although you won't, I hope you choose to seek a journey of your own There's so much more perspective to life that you may never know But you gravitate to small minds like a moth to flames Your head's your home Oh don't you know? (Ooh) Why sit in shadows when the sunlight warms your bones? (Ooh) Why does an open mind make you feel alone?
